This bird isn't going to space for a while
Boeing's CST-100 Starliner capsule will spend a little longer on Earth than planned following the discovery of a leak in one of the spacecraft's reaction control thrusters.
Managers initially pushed the launch back to no earlier than May 10, then May 17, following a decision to replace the troublesome valve. The leak itself is not serious. It has been traced to a flange on a single reaction control system thruster.Engineers performed pressure testing on the system, which"indicated the rest of the thruster system is sealed effectively across the entire service module."
